Terry Gross, the almighty leader of the WHYY-based Fresh Air, will be inducted in to the 2012 class of the Chicago-based Radio Hall of Fame. Joining Gross are Gary Burbank, Ron Chapman, Art Laboe, Luther Masingill, Jack Cooper and Howard Stern. Radio powerhouse Stern has spoken out against the HoF in previous years and has been rejected on four past ballots, according to Time Out Chicago.
It's a been a big year for Gross, who also celebrated a quarter-centry of Fresh Air being a daily show on NPR in May. "I fell in love with radio the moment I started doing it. I still find it a privilege to be able to talk to and engage in a pretty personal level with people whose work I respect," Gross told the Daily News' Dan Gross (no relation ... that we know of).
Gross will officially join the Hall during the nationally-broadcast ceremony on November 10.
Until then, let's hope the Hall of Fame doesn't find out what Gross does on her off-time:
That a boy Howard.... keep proving the morons out there wrong about you...— elfman

- This must be a bitter pill for Terry to swallow. To have your career's work be deemed equivalent to that of Howard Stern's must take all the joy out of this award.— catwalks
She's a lovely creature ...— EGGHEAD.- She's been around a long time for someone who obviously suffers from progeria.— EGGHEAD.
- To be moved into the hall of fame is such an honor, then hear you're being moved in with Howard Stern sort of takes the air out of the honor. "Yes, you will be placed in the hall of fame with Fartman"— neddyflanders
